Looking like a standard sports anime but i can see myself enjoying this. The characters seems fun and interesting and they're girls which i really prefer at this point, getting tired of those male sports animes. The visuals ain't the best i hope it won't affect my experience. Overall i think this can be quite good, just need little bit of consistency.

The new anime season has started and as always I will start 2-3 weeks later and go from the back of the field of low score shows that have a genre I like. So sadly this show is the bottom of those. After watching the PV I was curious to find out what went wrong and... nothing went wrong. This is a pretty solid show. I like my Haikyuu! as the reference and yes this does not go to this level, but what other sport anime goes there anyway. So since Stars Align I have a pretty soft spot for the more toned down and less screaming way of doing a sports anime. And the start looks promising. A quite good set of interesting characters is meshed together. Of course the plot and general story telling will be seen at the end of the first arc so thats still open.
Animation is pretty good except for that one scene with the face through the fence, please don't do that again. Else good fluid animation, nothing too shabby. Also from an artitic view there where some nice cuts in this episodes which show some amibition to produce more than the generic sport anime. Music is good. What is still a mystery how the opening was accepted as it looks worse than the actual animation in the episodes.
But the ending on the other hand is a very beautiful piece mixing some different art styles and super nice animations. Sound is also very ok.
The first episode was interesting and made me wanting to watch the second episodes 8/10.

plot looks butchered, but tbf I don't think even slower pacing will save this horrible mess.
Plot's a snore-fest, storyboard's definitely drawn by someone who doesn't watch football regularly, half-asses animation that's probably the result of not having enough time.
And those lines... man so cringe. Not even getting the best seiyuus out there can save those lines.

Art and animation was 3/10 at most. I thought the work of the author of well known series (your lie in april) should get better care. It just not interesting to watch.

Sad that it's the way it is, but the story seems maybe interesting. I don't drop anime so guess I'll be watching this through to the end anyway.

Another bland sports anime. The animation and artstyle is mediocre. Dropped.

Quite frankly I'm disappointed with the animation. The ED proves that the animators can realistically draw football, and while the characters seem likeable so far, the actual football looks somewhat uninspiring. None of the movements look all that natural, especially the kicking. God everytime someone hits a ball, even the three apparent prodigies, their body shapes look like someone who's never touched a football before. Who knows, maybe this'll change and it's intentional that they look inexperienced, but I doubt it.

Lidenfilms gave 3x effort on SevenKnights vs this, nearly closed video early which is rare.
Some antics were funny, but cant balance out the sludge.
MadMoney's way better anyways the real Cramer.

I hate the art style and the skirt without lines for the pleats looks weird, their faces completely visible through the net looks weird, animation is not all that good. Looking at the white haired girl staring reminded me of Ex-arm.

I only gave it a shot because I heard the it's by the author of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso but looks like it's just an average sports anime, not meant for me.

An odd first ep. Odd in the sense that halfway through it switches to different characters, making me question which one is the true main protagonist. Oh well.

It seems like the team will take a while too come together as a unit. Not surprising, since it's full of first years, and odd characters.

The character design looks kinda bad imo, and the running animation looks a bit off. I hope it improves tbh.

That's one of those moments when I'm glad I was born in Italy, we grow up "a pane e calcio" (literally "with bread and football") ^^
Football is great and I am looking forward to seeing how Japanese see it and what is their vision about it ^_^

Nice start. I haven't seen a single sports anime for a long time, so it's kinda refreshing to watch this. :)

Okay, the art and animation dept really a let-down, its an obvious. But at the same time its really an unfortunate because the story part and the voice acting so far pretty solid and i will considered that no matter how facepalm the art compartments were. Such a shame. But well, at least i got another Yuuki voice action again this time, and its pretty funny to cover any shit this series got. So yeah, an okay pass to waste my damn time.

What... tone is this show even going for? The lack of music and slow pace makes it feel like it's trying to be a serious drama, and then it randomly digs into these jokes and jokey characters that feel awkward and out of place. It feels so dull, and worst of all, nothing about it makes any effort to interest me in the sport, which is the kiss of death for an anime like this.

Knowing the creator's pedigree and witnessing the lackluster animation, I assumed it was an adaptation issue, and the comments seem to back that up. I'll have to give the manga a chance sometime, but this anime was incredibly boring and flat.

And that weird lack of an OST certainly isn't helping. It legitimately feels like I'm watching a pre-soundtrack pass most of the time, and then there's these random moments of music that lack any sort of consistency?

This is just... WEIRD. And uncomfortable.

One of the defenders actually got nutmegged and the entire team didn't go all crazy? Unrealistic crap (jk).

Nice to see some early bonding between the two forwards, quite promising so far.

Well, we started on the wrong foot from the beginning: "if we don't win football in Japan it's over", the Japanese nadeshiko is the best national football team, so I was not happy with that statement, second, the MC said: " I don't want to play with girls because they are weak, girl, you are one. Like I said, in Japan girls are better players than boys, so those kinds of comments piss me off.
After some impressive arrogance on the part of the protagonist, I will see him until the end because I have decided but I do not expect much after this.

I confess I expected more from the first episode of Sayonara Watashi no Cramer. The author of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso has established himself as a great drama builder, but creating a show with football as the main theme is not easy. Of course, Nozomi, Suou and Soshizaki are characters who had a quick but adequate presentation, but it's a title that has had problems of adaptation from the beginning. The manga? Well, of course it has the potential to be better, but anime needs more focus and a goal to set. Without that, it's me who gives the "Sayonara" to the show.

Eu confesso que esperava mais do primeiro episódio de Sayonara Watashi no Cramer. O autor de Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso se consolidou por ser um ótimo construtor de dramas, mas criar um show com o futebol sendo a temática principal não é fácil. É claro, Nozomi, Suou e Soshizaki são personagens que tiveram uma apresentação rápida, mas adequada, porém é um título que apresenta desde o início problemas de adaptação. O mangá? Bom, é claro que tem potencial em ser melhor, mas o anime precisa de maior foco e um objetivo a traçar. Sem isso, sou eu quem dou o "Sayonara" para o show.

Evidence suggests that the interview took place in the mid 2000s, likely 2004... in other words, back when Nadeshiko Japan struggled to even make it past the group stages of the World Cup.

EDIT: It's worth noting that the prequel manga was published in 2009, so if we were to assume that the story took place on that year (with the sequel series taking place a year later), then SWNC should take place a good several months before the day in which Nadeshiko Japan made their mark in history.

Not a big fan of the animation quality (although luckily no bad CGI) but an anime about female soccer seems interesting.

This national player at the beginning looked just ridiculous. Nothing motivate your to save japanese sakka more than whining bitch on TV.
Now, Ms. Ugly Lips is back to her old school to teach some CGI girls how to save japanese sakka.
I like how everyone got hyped when two rookies high-fived each other. Like, what are they doing, they're fucking high-fiving, now we're definitely gonna win high-school championship or something!
